MELBOURNE (Reuters) -A stonewall defence and the laser boot of Melvyn Jaminet saw France close out a series-levelling 28-26 win against Australia in Melbourne on Tuesday and savour their first away win over the Wallabies in more than 30 years.

Fullback Jaminet slotted seven penalties and converted a Damian Penaud try in the first half for a 23-point game as France turned the tables at the Rectangular Stadium after suffering a last-gasp 23-21 defeat in Brisbane last week.
